Find and
connect with the right people
by Sophie Bujold
One
of the best things you can do to connect with new people on Twitter is to seek
them out. But that’s easier said than done if you don’t know where to
look.
Here’s
where Twitter’s advanced search function comes in. With it, you can really get
smart about tracking down people in your area or with interests you want to
target.
So,
here’s what I want you to do:
- Visit search.twitter.com/advanced
- Check out the search options and fill out the ones that you think will help you find your ideal people easily.
- Click on “search” and wait for the results.
- You will get a list of tweets using the criteria you entered.
- Browse the list and identify which people may be worth connecting with.
- Click on their name and click the “follow” button once their profile preview appears.
If
you want to give an extra effort to connecting with these new people, tweet them
a hello message. Try to include an interesting question along with it so they
feel compelled to reply. Some will and some won’t, but rest assured that they
will notice you.
